Tango DJ - Gabriele Sabato (Italy)

A milonga is a delicate mixture of dramatic, romantic, energetic and funny feelings. During my set I select appropriate orchestras from the Edad de Oro to create a flow of emotions during the milonga. Rhythm, lyrics, tempo and cortinas: everything matters in order to let people enjoy their time, and go home with a smile on their face.

I play for the dancers and the main goal for me is to let people dance every tanda and feel comfortable. Receiving a smile while people are dancing, or a hug after a tanda they enjoyed is the greatest gift I can have when I play.

Playing mostly Edad de Oro is, to me, an opportunity to present the artistic peak of tango, and let everyone, including myself, enjoy the music they know, and have learned to love over their dancing years.

Tango DJ - Oliver Krstic (Switzerland)

Oliver is internationally recognized and known popularly as 'Tango DJ Virulazo'. He has played the music in countless milongas in Buenos Aires and throughout Europe and Asia.

Since 2006, he has dedicated his life to Tango. As such, between 2007 and 2011, Oliver traveled to Buenos Aires every year to learn the roots of Tango in the capital of Tango from famous Tango dancers, some of whom include Carlitos Perez and Javier Rodriguez. The golden age of Tango between 1930 and 1950 is clearly his predilection. The traditional Tango Tandas are strictly adapted and equal in the rhythmic, melodic and thematic content.
